I am on the "fanfic is wrong" side of the ledger. An artist should have control of their work.
What if....Donald Trump (or if you like him, pick someone you despise) decided to use your characters, your universe, to promote his campaign?
What if a pro-abortion group...or an anti abortion advocate....used your work to promote their agenda?
What if someone made your characters "gay" in a gay advocacy way? Or....did the opposite...but your characters and universe into a morality play against homosexuality?
Or....simply....what is you had plans and story ideas in your mind that you hadn't written yet, and someone else writes fan fic that gets popular enough that YOUR story plans are no longer compatible?
You simply have no rights to someone else's work. You just don't. Fan or not. It should be up to the rights holder to allow fan fic if THEY desire to.
